Luneta Park

A beautiful setting built in honor of the Philippines' greatest hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Luneta Park used to be called Bagumbayan Field is the place where Dr. Rizal was executed by a Spanish military firing squad at early dawn on December 30, 1896. He was executed for spreading ideals of revolution against Spanish rule. Dr. Rizal wrote his most famous poem "Mi Ultimo Adios" (My Last Farewell) on the eve of his execution.
